notes will affect the audio tracks, meaning tracks or machines can’t be trigged exter-
nally.
AUDIO NOTE OUT sets what MIDI information the [TRIG] keys transmit. This set-
ting contains three options. Select between the options by pressing the [LEFT] or
[RIGHT] arrow keys or by pressing [ENTER/YES].
• INT will make [TRIG] key presses affect only internal machines or tracks.
[TRIG] keys will not send out any MIDI notes, unless pressed when being on
a MIDI track.
• EXT will make [TRIG] key presses send out MIDI notes. No internal
machines or tracks will be trigged. This option essentially makes the [TRIG]
keys function in a local off mode fashion.
• INT+EXT makes [TRIG] key presses trig internal machines and tracks. MIDI
notes will at the same time be sent out.
SYNC is a menu where the Octatrack can be set to transmit and respond to sequencer
related MIDI messages. Open the menu by selecting it and pressing [ENTER/YES]. Move
between the menu options by using the [ARROW] keys. Activate and deactivate settings
by pressing [ENTER/YES].
TRANSPORT SEND will when active make the Octatrack send out system realtime
messages like play, stop, continue and song position pointer.
TRANSPORT RECEIVE will when active make the Octatrack respond to system
realtime messages like play, stop, continue and song position pointer
CLOCK SEND will when active make the Octatrack transmit MIDI clock.
CLOCK RECEIVE will when active make the Octatrack respond to MIDI clock sent
from external devices.
PROG CH SEND will when checked send out program change MIDI messages
when the active pattern on the Octatrack is changed. Which channel the messages
are sent on is dictated by the setting below.
CHANNEL sets which channel the Octatrack should send program change mes-
sages on. The LEVEL knob is used to change this setting. If AUTO is chosen the
first MIDI channel used by the audio tracks, and not used by any of the MIDI tracks,
will be used. If a MIDI channel is set, the program change message will be transmit-
ted on that channel.
